The aim of the non-surgical double eyelid procedure is to create desired double eyelids using threads. There is no scar as there are no skin incisions — just a few threads on each upper eyelid.
Non-surgical procedures are typically less invasive than surgical alternatives, and the following are the advantages:
Dr Peter Kim specialises in creating double eyelids non-surgically by placing threads into the upper eyelids. With 20 years of experience in this technique, he has published numerous papers on his expertise in double eyelid threads.

The desired double eyelid shape is marked on the upper eyelid.
Local anaesthesia is administered.
Three to four threads are strategically placed in each upper eyelid to create the desired double eyelid shape and thickness.
After the threads are inserted, we show the patient the result and ask whether they are satisfied with the shape.
Once we are content with the outcome, the threads are cut off at skin level, burying the knots.
The procedure takes around 20 minutes and can be performed in our clinic.
This depends on the desired double eyelid shape and the patient’s current eyelid anatomy. Everyone is different. The best option is to come in for a consultation. Dr Peter Kim will show on your eyelid several different types of double eyelids that may suit you.
The result is permanent, but not everyone is suitable for this procedure. Where there is excess skin hooding or fat removal is desirable, surgical double eyelid surgery may be recommended instead.
Dr Kim invented the Durable Suture Technique, in which the upper eyelid crease is created by stitching it down to the tarsal plate. It was originally published in the Australasian Journal of Cosmetic Surgery in 2009, and a 15-year follow-up study on the technique was published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery in 2023.
In accordance with the Good Medical Practice guidelines and Medical Board of Australia expectations, patients are advised: all surgical, invasive, non-surgical and laser procedures carry risks; complications can occur and outcomes vary between individuals; previous outcomes do not guarantee future results; patients are encouraged to seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner before proceeding.
